Architect Jobs in Washington: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become an architect in Washington?
To become a licensed architect in Washington, you must earn an accredited professional degree in architecture, complete the Architectural Experience Program through NCARB, and pass all divisions of the Architect Registration Examination. Licensure is issued by the Washington State Department of Licensing. Washington participates in the NCARB Certificate reciprocity program, so architects licensed in other states can apply for a Washington license without re-examination.
How much do architects make in Washington?
Architects in Washington earn a median of about $100,190 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $70,020 for the lowest 10% to over $130,380 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire architects in Washington?
Employers hiring architects in Washington right now include Amazon, Blue Origin, and Microsoft, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Washington's strong technology and healthcare sectors mean many openings are tied to corporate campus expansion, hospital design, and large-scale urban mixed-use development concentrated in the greater Seattle and Bellevue areas.
Which Washington cities have the most architect jobs?
Seattle, Bellevue, and Redmond lead Washington for architect openings. Seattle dominates due to its dense urban development pipeline, major technology headquarters requiring continuous campus design, and a concentration of mid-size to large architecture firms. Bellevue's commercial real estate boom and Tacoma's growing public infrastructure and arts investment sustain steady demand beyond the Seattle core.
Are there remote architect jobs in Washington?
Yes, but they're limited. About 81% of architect openings tied to Washington are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the largely site- and client-dependent nature of architectural practice. The portions of the work most suited to remote arrangements include schematic design, documentation, and BIM coordination, while site visits, construction administration, and client presentations typically require in-person presence.
How can I get hired as an architect in Washington with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is an architectural intern or designer role while completing AXP hours toward licensure. Washington firms including larger practices in Seattle and Bellevue regularly hire recent B.Arch and M.Arch graduates into intern architect positions. Applying through university career offices at the University of Washington or Washington State University connects candidates with firms that recruit new graduates. A strong portfolio demonstrating BIM proficiency and studio project work gives early-career candidates a clear edge over those without documented technical skills.
Where can I find and apply to architect jobs in Washington?
You can find and apply to architect jobs in Washington on Migrate Mate, which lists current Washington openings across firm sizes, specialties, and metro areas. Find roles that fit your experience and apply directly without creating a profile or going through a gatekeeper.
